Russell Brohier:I cannot unearth a particular structure and remove it to a gallery, but I can capture the essence of the architecture and the feeling I get from the space.
Sean Galbraith:To go where many have gone in the past, but few go today. To document that which once was kinetic, but now lies dormant and decaying; even in man-made objects, death is a part of life and has its own beauty.
Steve Jacobs:Too often our history is ignored or demolished. Through the lens of my camera, I try to capture the history of the buildings, as well as the experiences of those who have occupied them.
Laurin Jeffrey:What stories do buildings tell, what scenes have stones witnessed? Why are we humans so obsessed with erecting monuments in metal and brick and why do we so carelessly abandon them when we are done?
Mathew Merrett:I photograph places that were once alive. Now frozen in time, subject to the elements and neglect, I aim to capture what was once abundant, before the redevelopment cycle erases them.
DK Photo Group Origins
In the ruins of a steel mill on a cold December Sunday in 2005, five photographers came together to form the DK Photo Group. Though each has their own artistic voice, what binds them together is their common subject matter. Exploring the forgotten, decaying and derelict relics of society, this group photographs and documents those buildings which once stood as bastions of social institutions. Now silent and testament to the history of our social past, they are artifacts left to deteriorate.
